Mr. Speaker, with respect to the member's last question, no, and I said as much in the speech. We should pick winning sectors and that is what we are going to be doing.
With respect to the member's suggestion that we are disavowing Liberalism or the Liberal viewpoint or policy of the last 35 years, absolutely not. We still put the Canadian people first and foremost. As we attack the debt and deficit, which must be addressed, we keep the Canadian people clearly in focus.
Unlike members opposite, we know how complex the issue is. We know that Canadians want to have a say in what we are doing. Many have asked to testify before the finance committee in the prebudget consultations-we are oversubscribed already-and I for one welcome hearing what they have to say.
